I've been living in California for over a decade but I'm home in Girard for the holidays. I've been through a dozen quakes 3.0-5.9 by now but never felt anything like that explosion that shook our house today.
It is pretty obvious by now that fracking is connected to quakes. The quakes this year in Youngstown were all pretty much centered on this injection well, the staff scientists understand that you can be sure. They are not going to agree to shut down without evidence, there is too much money to be made.
UPDATE: State bans injection wells within 5 miles of Youngstown site
